My #BookBucketList

Sitting here wishing I could win the lottery and open up my own wee bookshop…a girl can but dream! It got me thinking about bucket lists and thought I would create my own #BookBucketList (not just about the books I want to read though!)

#BookBucketList

#1 Own my own bookshop – I even have a name for it (but I’m not telling!) and have the interior designed, the events planned and what it will achieve – now all I need is the money 🙂

#2 Be a Bookseller for a day (in the absence of the above!) For a while I bombarded bookstores with tweets begging them to allow me to work FREE OF CHARGE for just one day – just for the buzz! So if anyone can get me a wee day in a book shop then I’ll love you forever!

#3 Visit all the book shops on this list (and so many more!) (I am visiting Barter Books in August though!) http://www.anglotopia.net/british-travel/ten-coolest-bookshops-britain/

#4 Have my own library in my house, not just some random shelves – but a whole room devoted to my books and comfy reading spots!

#5 Do one of the Dublin literary tours (one of the ones involving a pub crawl!)

Hi my name is Sharon and I have an obsession - it's reading! My preferred genre is crime/thriller/police procedural with a penchant for Tartan Noir.
This is my blog for my book reviews and I would love to connect with other like minded readers and authors. I'm happy to feature interviews on my blog, review ARCs (kindle and hard copies)
All views are honest and my own

I have done a few of those things, I founded and stocked and ran a charity bookshop for nearly 2 yrs for Rotary club and made a profit, until premises were sold.
I have been to Harrogate Crime Festival last 5 yrs.
Been to Barter books more than once and Hayes book wk.
Enjoyed them all . I now auction online signed books for my family founded charity Bloodwise .(formerly Leukaemia & Lymphoma research ) and have made £3,000 in last 5 months.
So any authors who would like to send me signed book please get in touch.
